Why do 'investigations' take so long. People selling fakes are so obvious.

Legal matters have to be thoroughly investigated.Only when there is sufficient evidence can cases be brought to Court,in the knowledge that the wrong-doer will get their just dues.Otherwise,publi c monies just go to waste.That cannot be right! The person who is responsible now has to spend a year in jail and has been fined as well.My concern is for the items sold under false pretence to people who bought in good faith from this company.Since health and safety regulations havebeen breached will those unsuspecting clients have any recourse and will they be alerted about potential harm from these dangerous phone accessories.?People should know what dangers we are referring to and be wary of buying unless they know their source is reliable. Good to know under Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) he has been ordered to pay back £21,788 on top of the £10,000 fine.Perhaps this money might go towards compensating victims.I am not sure how this works! In any case,it's a "result" and others inclined to do like-wise should watch out.The long arm of the Law WILL get you sooner or later!

It's not really a result, it's a bit of a joke because there are thousands more shops just like this. This conviction doesn't even dent the illegal market.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most criminals ignore orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act and even when the amount which they decline to pay is significant, very little is done about it. Until the miscreants are kept in jail until such time as the money appears in the Government coffers this will remain the case.

That's outrageous and needs amending right away.People who cheat and defraud MUST be made to cough up the monies gained dishonestly.
